what should I look for?
So, I'm thinking about buying a 78 bronco from a guy that has it listed on ebay, but im going to go up there and try and get him to end it early. I was just wondering, what kind of things should i make sure to look at, other than all the body panels and stuff?

Particular places of rust: On top of windsheild, bottom of doors, tail gate, on top of wheel wells.
Do a test drive and analize it while driveing: engine and tranny functioning properly, brakes, steering, ride, check all lights, all switches(rear window motor, a/c, fan, ect...). Then park it on concret and let it sit alittle while, and see what leaks.
And while test driving find some grass or a gravel or dirt road, and make sure the 4wd is working.

Yeah, I'm sure it'll jump out at us if something expensive is wrong. I think the main thing is to make sure the 4x4/drivetrain is working correctly since this is just a beater.
btw, my dad said we can use the trailer/dually to go get it as long as its not snowing.
